For five small custards use one pint of milk, two eggs, one
ounce of Walter Baker & Co.'s Premium No. 1 Chocolate,
one-fourth of a tea spoon of salt, and a piece of stick
cinnamon about an inch long.
Put the cinnamon and milk in the double-boiler, place on
the fire and cook for ten minutes. Shave the chocolate,
and put it in a small pan with three table spoons of sugar
and one of boiling water.
Stir this over a hot fire until smooth and glossy, and
then stir it into the hot milk, after which take the liquid
mixture from the fire and cool.
Beat together with a spoon the eggs, salt and two table
spoons of the sugar. Add the cooled milk and strain.
Pour the mixture into the cups, which place in a deep
pan.
Pour into the pan enough tepid water to come nearly
to the top of the cups. Bake in a moderate oven until
firm in the center. It will take about half an hour.
Test by running a knife through the center.
If the custard is milky, it is not done.
Serve very cold
